Waterproofing for Water Retaining structures

Weathercoat GP is a high quality two-component, elastomeric, versatile
and permanent waterproof coating suitable for use in areas with extreme
climatic conditions. Weathercoat GP is specially formulated for water
retaining structures for e.g. swimming pools & potable water tanks.

PROPERTIES
Weathercoat GP is an elastomeric, polymer
modified cementitious waterproof coating, supplied
in two components, as a liquid resin and powder to
be mixed on site before application.

Weathercoat GP Resin
Based on advanced acrylic resins, miscible with
Portland cement and cement-based materials in
various proportions, high resistant to alkalinity.
Weathercoat GP resin is also suitable as an additive
to mortars and screeds to increase their tensile,
compressive and flexural strengths and reduces their
water cement ratio.

Weathercoat GP Powder
Based on special hydraulic cements, precisely
graded fillers, wetting agents and adhesion
promoters.

Advantages:
- Easy to mix and apply
- Application by brush or spray
- Pot life of more than 2 hours at ambient
temperature
- Excellent adhesion to dimensionally stable
concrete/render
- Seamless permanent coating
- Vapor permeability – allows substrate to breathe
- High UV and weather resistance
- Low temperature flexibility
- Excellent water impermeable coating under tiles
- Suitable for concrete potable water tanks
- High flexibility
- Non-toxic

AREA OF USE
Suitable for waterproofing of most building surfaces
but especially where crack bridging and a high
degree of waterproofing and protection is required
such as for:

- Potable water tanks, retaining concrete tanks,
reservoirs
- Swimming pools
- Under-tile waterproofing
- Fish ponds, decorative ponds
- Planter boxes
- Concrete roofs (exposed and under tile
application)

CURING & DRYING
Curing and drying times depend on ambient
temperatures, atmospheric humidity and thickness
of coating.Protect surfaces from wind and direct heat during
application and curing. Do not apply in humid
conditions >80%.

Weathercoat GP will be surface dry in less than 3
hours at 30°C.Allow first coat of Weathercoat GP to dry for a
minimum of 6 hours before over-coating.


Weathercoat GP should be left to cure for at least 7
days before water flood testing.
For potable water tanks and fish ponds to prevent
contamination of the water, after curing for 7 days,
the surfaces of the Weathercoat GP must be
thoroughly rinsed off with clean, cool water. Repeat
the rinsing cycle until the required pH level has been
reached.Tiling work should be commenced after minimum 3
days of Weathercoat application.
Protect surfaces from wind and sources of direct
heat during application and curing.

Note:
Do not add water to adjust or re-temper the mix.
For bulk mixing, mix only required kits of
Weathercoat GP that can be used within its pot life.

LIMITATIONS
Do not apply during rising temperatures to avoid
the risk of outgassing resulting in pin-holing. Do not
apply on bituminous coatings. For exterior areas, do
not apply if rain is likely over the next 24 hours.

PACKAGING & STORAGE & SHELF LIFE

A dvantages:  Easy to mix and apply  Application by brush or spray  Pot life of more than 2 hour s at ambient temperature  Excellent adhesion to dimensionally stable concrete/render  Seamless permanent coating  Vapor permeability – allows substrate to breathe  High UV and weather resistance  Low temperature flexibility  Excellent water impermeable coating under tiles  Suitable for concrete potable water tanks  High flexibility  Non - toxic AREA OF USE Suitable for waterproofing of most building surfaces but especially where crack bridging and a high degree of waterproofing and pro tection is required such as for:  Potable water tanks , retaining concrete tanks , reservoirs  Swimming pools  Under - tile waterproofing  Fish ponds , decorative ponds  Planter boxes  Concrete roofs (exposed and under tile application) SURFACE PREPARATION Ensure substrates are clean and sound. Remove all existing coatings, cement laitance, unsound honeycombing and spalling concrete by suitable mechanical means. All dust, dirt and loose materials must be thoroughly removed by brush, broom or vacuum from the areas to be coated. Grind off all ridges and sharp projections. Scrape off all flaking material and remove oils, grease and other adhesion inhibiting substances. Mortar joints must be sound and finished flush with the blockwork. In sit uations requiring reinforc ement and at all wall and floor corner junctions, pipe entries and drains , it is recommended to apply the respective Terratape reinforcing membrane or Terraco Flexitape or Terraco Sealing tape , depending on area of application. Cracks and surface defects must be made good using suitable Terraco repair products. Create a fillet in the corners where required, prior to application of Weathercoat GP. Dry and porous substrates should be primed with Terrabond A (diluted 1:3 with clean water) or Terraco Waterpro ofing Primer (undiluted). Other surfaces should be saturated with water prior to application but no standing water should be present. MIXING It is recommended to mix full kits only. Place the resin in a clean mixing vessel then slowly add the powder while mixing for at least 3 minutes with a slow speed mixer (200 - 600 rpm) until the mix is completely homogeneous and lump free. Ensure the blade remains below the s urface of the mixture to minimis e the entrapment of air and that no powder remains unmixed on the sides and in the corners of the mixing vessel. Leave to stand for at least 5 minutes to release any entrapped air. Mix again for 30 seconds before application. During application , ensure occasional stirring to keep the aggregates in suspension. N ote : Do not add water to adjust or re - temper the mix. For bulk mixing, m ix only required kits of Weathercoat GP that can be used within its pot life.
